1. 21/4 , you can use a calculator it’s way easier because your doing times
Decrease in the temperature: 5.4×5=27°C
Final temperature: 12-27=-15°C
Ok
first of all, for q(x)/p(x)
if the degree of q(x) is less than the degree of p(x),then the horizontal assemtote is 0
then simplify
any factors you factored out is now a hole, remember them
to find the vertical assemtotes of a function, set the SIMPLIFIED denomenator equal to 0 and solve
so
y=(x-5)/(x^2-1)
q(x)<p(x)
horizontal assemtote is y=0
no factors to simplify so no holes
set denomenator to 0 to find vertical assemtote
x^2-1=0
(x-1)(x+1)=0
x-1=0
x=1
x+1=0
x=-1
the horizontal assemtotes are x=1 and -1
Answer: 2/5
Explanation: 10+8+12 = 30 12/30 = .4 .4 = 2/5
